Excellent article in WorldWide Coins Magazine on UN FAO related issues.

Did anyone catch the excellent article in the most recent issue of WorldWide Coins magazine (AMOS publication, same company as Coin World). This one is about related FAO UN issues. The UN's organization to stimulate world growth of food with respect to promoting agriculture. The coins have very interesting propaganda (not using it in a negative context). Some say. "Grow more food", they have tractors, farmers, etc.etc. Its a very interesting theme. Does anyone collect these issues? if so, can you post photos and your experience with them and this very interesting subject matter. what fascinates you about it. ? Any suggestions. Thanks.

Don't specifically collect FAO coins myself, but maybe these images ftp://ext-ftp.fao.org/GI/Data/Giii/FAOCoins/ help. Harold Angel, responsible for the FAO coin program, is about to retire, and just uploaded the - about 700 - pictures to their FTP server.
